Hydrogen Peroxide Rocket Engine Developed in Russia

It is planned to equip the return vehicles of new generation manned spacecraft with it

Roscosmos announced a new fuel for rocket engines - 85% hydrogen peroxide is being considered as a promising fuel for these purposes. It will require a special engine, which will be installed on the return vehicle of a new generation manned spacecraft.

And Russia already has such an engine. It took almost three years to develop and produce the first prototypes<br>

Design tests were carried out in May. The novelty from RSC Energia is already being tested at the Research Institute of Mechanical Engineering of Roscosmos, where an electro-hydraulic valve for this engine was developed.

Refinement tests of the object are being carried out. In the near future, engines will be tested on a number of models at the NIIMash base - in particular, on a fire model of the descent executive system.
